Lit Youngstown’s sixth annual Fall Literary Festival kicked off Thursday with a reception at Concept Studio in Youngstown and will conclude Saturday with the screening of the documentary “The Place That Makes Us” at 7 p.m. at The Youngstown Playhouse, 600 Playhouse Lane.

The documentary by PBS journalist Karla Murthy was filmed in Youngstown over three years and highlights “the efforts of a new generation of residents who have chosen not to abandon their hometown, as so many have, but to stay, rebuild and make a life for themselves.”
